2012, I think was my most favorite year — the year I was at the heights of my happiness.

On its first quarter, I became a debutant. We had a mini-party (but it turned out to be a teeny weeny pretty huge party) with formal dress and programme. My college blockmates and friends came. There were my beloved friends, KP, who came straight from a dance competition at Marikina, and Rhoane. Sadly my two best friends couldn’t make it. I received multiple gifts. And my most favorite was a portrait made by Elaine. 🙂

Though I was an irregular second year student, I was more than happy. It was like we were blockmates. Also, I was still classmates with my beloved best friend (more like sister), Vee. I became really close with Tin Aves and everytime I was with her, I was becoming a good person as she was. We three girls spend each day together and share secrets. I used to (and still am) think that failing a subject wasn’t bad. During summer, I made friends from other courses. I am still friends with them.

Physics 1 was the subject I failed. However, taking it again proved that I misunderstood Physics. I came to love Physics! All thanks to Prof. William Bill Turnbull! All of us second takers were able to understand it in one shot! My grades were nearly flat one!!! Actually I couldn’t believe it. Also in summer, Physics 2, I even perfected some of his quizzes! I was very happy. Because of being an irreg, I was able to sit in classes of my peers. They were Integral Calculus and Physics 2. I applied what I learned in those subjects when I took them and proved to be useful.

On summer 2012 was our Engineering Qualifying Exams. It was an exam for incoming third year students so they’ll continue being on their course or forced to shift to other courses IYKWIM. I just studied for our quiz in Physics 2 for if I failed it, it would taint my beloved record. EQE was 2 days after our quiz on Physics 2. I did study a bit so I know what to answer in some. I was really excited on taking it that I couldn’t sleep. We took exams in Algebra, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Solid Mensuration, Calculus, Chemistry and Physics. There, it was quite easy, some parts were hard (think about Integral Calculus!!!). I made it with a huge grin plastered on my face despite how gloomy others were. I thought to myself, “I can pass it!” Days after, the results came. ASDFGH! I was TOP SEVEN!!! OMG!

I joined 2 quiz bees last 2012. They were not as prestigious as the nationals or regionals, but they were my first times after my math quiz bee on third year high school. The first one was for our Rizal subject teaming with my two classmates. We didn’t win though but I was happy I joined. The second one was for our Engineering Economics subject teaming with Joseph and Ate Kathy. It was quite big. Hehehe. But not to brag about. We actually made it to the finals but landed as third place. I thought we were going to be the champion. I was quite thirsty for victory. It was a thrilling quiz bee so far for me. I love the experience!

On my third year, first sem, I was hailed as top seven among Civil Engineering students. :3

In 2012, I made friends too. As in lots! From my fellow irregular students on 2nd year, Physics 2 groupmates, Prof. Turnbull, PSAU family, some from 202 2nd sem, Block 302 1st sem, Block-Blockan Wooh, AUSS, to Marielle. I love every one of them. So much.

Then there were little misadventures with a no-name certain creature.

I started watching movies (not just 25 Pesos) on movie houses, singing on karaoke hubs, subscribing to combo20, loading every 5 days, waking up very early to study, and stopping cramming a little.

Last day of classes before Christmas 2012 was my happiest “Christmas Party” ever! I was with many college friends! We even had exchange gifts! XD Also I received gifts! Hihihi

At the end of the year, as usual, I went to my best friend’s (Kate) 19th birthday. Then again, I received gifts.

Indeed it was my happiest year! Though I didn’t have much money, I was very content. I hope I could return to it because little did I know, the saddest year was to come.

Like this:

I was in grade school that time. The time when I was still a feminist and doesn’t like interaction between boys and when alternating seats was a punishment.
We went to Megamall to buy stuffs. I was with my family that time. We were in the department store. I guess it was on sale that time so there are huge crowds.

Dad (or Mum) was dragging me when a guy about my age surprised me with, “Wah!” He, I as I remembered, was tall, cute and had cute Japanese eyes. He was hiding in the clothes and did that. His arms were open. Cute. Just imagine a person surprise you. That’s it. But a random boy surprise a feminist like that? I gave him a cold suspicious stare.

I was a freshman in college that time. I was still riding LRT to go home. (If you call that a home.) I was at EDSA station in a long queue inserting their LRT cards (again. Well, commuters in EDSA are highly concentrated. Hahaha) when a tall, fair-skinned, cute boy with Japanese-like eyes who was wearing a white shirt that time says sorry to a man like a, well, a Japanese or Korean. And he had that apologetic smile to die for. Kyaaa~ Hahaha I tried to follow him but he got away. Dang it! Hahaha I wish to see him again whoever he is and be my friend. Chos!

Too bad I never saw these two boys again.

Bad luck Cye.

Woah! It has been more than two years since I’ve posted and updated this site. Hell yeah! Hahahaha!
You see, I was busy these past years. Busy with studies. (Really? Were you?) Yeah, you are right, I was not. Partly, yes. Hahaha! Part of the reason was that we disconnected our internet connection. We moved houses from Nueva Ecija to Manila. Now it is pretty hard to get along with my beloved high school friends. *sobs*

Well, since I couldn’t live without friends and don’t want them to drift away, I keep contact with them. There are facebook, twitter and their phone numbers but seeing them personally is a whole lot different. I mean a lot. Almost everyday, I call them up. Really. I think I am a call center agent by now and most likely I am about to memorize their numbers for I call them up using landline.

Some of my high school friends got boyfriends/girlfriends already. I still don’t have one. (I am not envious. Hahahaha! I am waiting for my love. Naks!) Most of the couples in high school split and found another in college. Some stopped studying and work instead. Some achieved awesome statuses in their schools. Some got more handsome or more beautiful, some don’t. Most of them had.. changed. Physically, mentally, socially. Most were improvements.

The people I’ve met in first year college have significantly changed. From first year, people did change mostly girls for girls think about appearance so much and sometimes I wonder if I were a girl. (chos! hahaha) I am now at my third year going fourth. When I was still in my fourth year high school, I thought of changing my physical appearance. Now nothing happens. I hate it. Hahaha. Really. Now, this summer I am inspired to makeover (more like overhaul) myself. You see, I don’t think I am improving physically. Now I am starting to be self-conscious. (Naks!) I want to bring back my long hair and my side bangs, color my hair red (but since it is prohibited in our school, I’d do it after grad), change my whole wardrobe, take care of my face from now on. My best friend in college, Vee, also said the same thing that I should change physically so to look nice.

I promise to wear something nice and don’t wear university or org shirts this sem given that I changed my whole wardrobe already. There. Hahaha!

But one thing I realized as I take this road, being beautiful invests lots of time, discipline and patience.

My deadline would be on the first day of classes for preparing for this huge change.
Hope this time it would happen.
